Define Approval Process Within the Development Team
Use
The purpose of this task is to document the approval process that the development team will be using within the project plan. Each deliverable, whether the business process team or the development team produces it, must be reviewed and approved by the development team.
The approval process is a tool to catch any errors of misunderstanding between the teams before the software is coded. The sooner that design problems are caught the least impact they will have on the overall project plan.

Once the document is ready, all teams for consensus on the process should review it.
Result
The output of this task is an approval procedure document.
